🎨✨ We are proud to showcase student artwork in our District Office! Each month, the display will rotate to feature pieces created by talented young artists from across our schools.

For the month of April, we have highlighted artwork from students at Elizabethtown Primary School. Their creativity, imagination, and hard work are on full display, bringing color and inspiration to our office walls. 🌟

We look forward to celebrating student artists throughout the year—another way we’re highlighting the many gifts and talents of our students.
